They're acting like a bunch of whiny cheap-asses who would be willing to spend FAR more money fighting fine-print support bullshit in court than they would simply upgrading their hardware.
Some companies run multi-million dollar hardware/software to control their factory machines. An upgrade will have a multi-million price tag.
And what OS are they going to update too? Windows 10??

How can I tell if the bug that was crashing Ryzen processors at idle has been fixed?
In 4,15, Ryzen users had to put in a boot option
"rcu_nocbs=0-15
(this case for 8 cores =0-11 for a six core...)
I had this problem too and the rcu_nocbs=0-15 didn't fix entirely the problem. You need zenstates to turn off the C6 power saving state. Here's the systemd unit file:
And that's the point. if you don't care how much money you spend, then Intel is better. But if you would like to save 50% (or more) on the price and still get ~90% of the performance, then you go with AMD.
Yes, Intel was faster (not better) at the cost of the Meltdown vulnerability. Patch that vulnerability and Intel is no longer faster (perhaps slower) than AMD.
Honestly, the area of the market they need to develop is the integrated home PC.
A modular system, wired into the home that enables 3rd parties to develop home technologies. I don't need every device in my home to be connected to the internet - I need them to connect to my home system and be managed locally. My PC should be my home's cloud and every "smart device" should just be a control board & dumb display that get fed data from applications/services running on the PC.
The trouble is that those vendors are not going to give you what you want. As vendors, they need to harvest your data. They also need to have a backdoor into your device for reason... Therefore your device needs to connect back to the mothership.

This makes me nervous. Will this serve me or the vendor?
What if they aren't on any social media? I'm a naturalized US citizen and not on any.
Exactly. Why do governments assume that people can't live without a social media account just like they can't live without a vital body part (like a heart).
Also, why is the US government taking applications for credit cards?
that people, knowing just how bad this and similar companies are, continue to use the products
This reminds me of the song The Snake. Note the last verse:
"I saved you", cried the woman "and you've bit me even , why?" You know your bite is posionous and now I'm gonna die" "Oh shut up, silly woman", said the reptile with a grin, "You knew damned well I was a snake before you took me in".
this single BK restaurant is "the internet", or monopoly gateway to is.
Which is what makes the ad ridiculous. In real life, you would walk across the street to McD, Wendys, In and Out, Burgerville, Subway, Jimmy Johns, or any of a number of competitors. Or change ISPs, which might mean actually looking in the phone book to find one and not accepting the meme that your ISP is a monopoly.
What you need to understand is that there is only one other place to eat in a 50 mile radius and they have the same policies. Also, the city prohibits opening any new eateries.
Sounds just like Amazon Prime. It's the reason I started buying my stuff from walmart.com instead.
Walmart...making America deplorable since 1962.
I ordered from Walmart yesterday. My order was more that $35 so I get free shipping. On the checkout page, I could select 'Free Shipping' or 'Store Pickup save $7.09'.
So how is this free shipping?
Also, Walmart advertises two prices for some of their items. An "In-store price" and a "Online price" which is about 15% higher. How is that "free shipping"?

So how long will it be before Microsoft gives the GitHub UI the Skype treatment ?
On the plus side, Microsoft raised Nokia up to be the world leader in phones...
Yes, you are correct. Microsoft razed Nokia.
Microsoft has been a huge contributor to git in the last couple years. Maybe it's time you update your antiquated preconceived ideas.
Look, see! The leopard has removed his spots!

I herd SSDs are silent and mostly immune to vibration.
How can you herd them if they are silent?
Just gather them up in a coral. A sheep dog can help with that.
That won't work either. All the coral is dying.
Really? What color? Blue, I hope. I have a bolt of cotton cloth I'd like dyed blue.
How do I contact the coral?

Last I heard, Microsoft was bundling all the spyware updates with the security updates. Is this not true?

I'll bet the shipping costs were quite expensive. :-(
The UK uses 240 volts AC, you insensitive clod!
Those are metric volts, right?

Linux users bashing Windows...
Wait. I thought it was Microsoft that bashed Windows with Ubuntu.
The Linux Weekly News usually has some pretty good information about kernel changes.
The most recent release requires a subscription, however all others are free to read.

Yes, I followed the link. Windows 10 mobile, however, is dead. How useful is that?

My mum lost her phone a couple of weeks ago.
I didn't realize flowers had phones. :O
Hate to break this to you, but people didn't call you a pansy because of your mother.
Right. :-( I'll just go daisy-chain my SCSI drives now.
